We want to add the Cavium OCTEON-III network driver. But since interacting with the input and output queues is done via special CPU local memory, we also need to add support to the MIPS/Octeon architecture code. Aren't SoCs nice in this way? These are the prerequisite patches that are needed before the network driver can be merged. Changes in v8: o Rebased to v4.16-rc2 Changes in v7: o Splitting of the patch set only. These 4 mips patches are unchanged from the previous posting. Changes in v6: o Added back cleanup patch for previous generation SoC "staging" driver, as Greg K-H acked it. o Moved FPA driver to drivers/net/ethernet/cavium/octeon as it is currently only used by the octeon3-ethernet driver. o Many code formatting fixes as noted by davem. Changes in v5: o Removed cleanup patch for previous generation SoC "staging" driver, as it will be sent as a follow-on. o Fixed kernel doc formatting in all patches. o Removed redundant licensing text boilerplate. o Reviewed-by: header added to 2/7. o Rewrote locking code in 3/7 to eliminate inline asm. Changes in v4: o Use phy_print_status() instead of open coding the equivalent. o Print warning on phy mode mismatch. o Improve dt-bindings and add Acked-by. Changes in v3: o Fix PKI (RX path) initialization to work with little endian kernel. Changes in v2: o Cleanup and use of standard bindings in the device tree bindings document. o Added (hopefully) clarifying comments about several OCTEON architectural peculiarities. o Removed unused testing code from the driver. o Removed some module parameters that already default to the proper values. o KConfig cleanup, including testing on x86_64, arm64 and mips. o Fixed breakage to the driver for previous generation of OCTEON SoCs (in the staging directory still). o Verified bisectability of the patch set.
